88-02 97th Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The property at 88-02 97th Avenue in Ozone Park is a two-story, 4-unit building owned by Franklin Pena, constructed in 1910 and classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A. The building has experienced significant pest-related issues in 2023, with multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between June 5 and June 14, 2023.

Most notably, there are open violations regarding a rodent infestation affecting Apartment 2, as well as violations related to the need for carbon monoxide detector repairs and various other maintenance issues. The building's pest control situation appears to have persisted throughout June 2023, with multiple inspection requests, some of which were unable to gain access for inspection, though some complaints resulted in issued violations. More recent developments include an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, which is notable given the building's apparent pest history.

The building's maintenance record shows several other open violations from June 2023, including issues with self-closing doors, broken plastered surfaces, and unauthorized alterations involving suspended acoustic ceilings. While a rodent inspection conducted in January 2016 resulted in a passing grade, the subsequent years have shown recurring pest-related challenges. It's worth noting that the bedbug reporting for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 shows no reported infestations, though this is for a different time period than the current open violation related to bedbug reporting requirements.
